This is something new that I am working on, very strange things are taking place (stranger than “normal”.) I’m still trying to figure out what exactly was going on on January 14, 2015 with all of these “explosions” being reported by the USGS. One of the “explosions” was in Cottage Grove, Oregon which is only 8 miles from me and the other occurred in Bend, Oregon which is east of me…both on the same day and other strange “explosions” other places on the same day. If anyone finds any new information please put links in the comment section or Inbox me.

The blast spooked nearby residents, who saw the large, orange glow in the pre-dawn sky and began to ask about its origins on social media. Gulf South Pipeline confirmed the explosion was along a natural gas line east of the Barnett Reservoir, MSNewsNow.com reported.

USGS indicates to news that there has been California, Oklahoma, and Alaskaearthquakes today. But there has not been an Oregon earthquake. Rather theshaking this afternoon just after 1:38 pm PST was an explosion. It started five miles east of Bend. It was eighteen miles south of Redmond and eighty-nine miles east of Springfield. The shaking hit ninety miles east of Lebanon and one hundred nine miles east of Salem.

USGS has yet to indicate the exact nature of today’s explosion. USGS does tell new that “Making a strong scientific case for a causative link between a particular human activity and a particular sequence of earthquakes typically involves special studies devoted specifically to the question. Such investigations usually address the process by which the suspected triggering activity might have significantly altered stresses in the bedrock at the earthquake source, and they commonly address the ways in which the characteristics of the suspected human-triggered earthquakes differ from the characteristics of naturalearthquakes in the region. “

In related news, several quakes have struck Oregon in recent years. In May 2013 a quake hit twenty-three miles east of Oakland and twenty-four miles west of Sutherlin. The quake also started twenty-nine miles east of Roseburg and forty-seven miles east of Eugene, reps told news at the time. In February 2012, another quake was thirty-six miles from Barview, USGS reported to news. It was forty miles from Coos Bay. Local news put the quake roughly one hundred miles from Eugene and two hundred miles south of Portland.
